Workshops

The workshop aims to promote active play for children by:

• Fostering an appreciation in parents for the value of active play.
• Giving parents the skill to play actively with their children and to encourage children to play actively with each other.

The workshop includes the following:

• A variety of activities and co-operative games including ball games, traditional games and tag games which are active, enjoyable and fun for adults and children.
• Physical activity guidelines for adults and children.
• Guidelines for parents on making games work.

The games are mostly co-operative and traditional and are to be played for fun so everyone can join in. Playing these games together promotes general well being as well as developing the relationship between parent/carer and their child.

Attending a workshop:

• Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for playing games
• All games and activities can be adapted to suit all participants (please make the tutor aware of any injuries etc. before the workshop begins.)
• Relax and have fun. This is a fantastic opportunity to have one to one time with your child and also meet other parents!
